Not much that I liked about the property

The location was very good.
We were not happy with the air conditioning. The room was very warm.
Friendly staff, Facilities and location
Breakfast was too basic
Outdoor pool area and bar
The bathroom and rooms were extremely dirty. Never seen anything like it. Old and requires refurbishment. Poor choice of breakfast options. Wouldn't go back or recommend
The location is superb The pool area ia niceThe ground floor and reception entrance is nice too The staff was friendly in reception. The breakfast was basic and what we needed really, but could have more options.
The facilities are outdated. If the hotel does a bit of a refurb it has so much more potential. The housekeepers came late like 4pm to clean the room, actually just changed the towels. The location is great but no double glazed windows, so we could hear the cars passing by
The pool was good, and although the breakfast was limited, it was still enough, all the basics. Nice staff, friendly, and fairly priced food options. A clean bed is very warmly welcomed, and they cleaned the room every day of our stay.
Unfortunately the interior design was a bit out of date, typical 1980s lobby, with so much granite and vinyl sofa.
the location was fantastic! proximity to the beach and the restaurants
the beach access was closed for the week during afro nation festival and that was not advertised. there was one staff member that was incredibly rude to our group of three but everyone else was exceptionally nice and accommodating
Excellent location, pool area very nice, staff friendly, rooms cleaned daily,
Breakfast very basic, same choice daily,Beds not very comfortable,
The location was superb. A way directly on to the promenade from the hotel. A beautiful pool. The staff were professional and helpful. We had a partial sea view which was nice. Lots of great restaurants around. Parking on the street across the hotel. Breakfast was decent.
The breakfast was chaotic. About 50 school kids had turned the bfast area into a noisy cafeteria. Food kept running out and had to wait for refilling. Maintenance could improve. .
Really quiet, comfortable and not crowded - beautiful swimming pool area and location is excellent.
nice position, close to the beach, pool, friendly staff
breakfast, room and bathroom’s furniture, cleanliness
Hotel spotless , good staff in the breakfast room
No bar open , under refurbishment
Disappointing
No bar or restaurant, the room smelt horrid, no lighting in corridor, no ventilation in bathroom and the beds were hard and lumpy.
Loved location so close to so many restaurants and beach right at the back of the hotel just perfect location , breakfast is good with a choice of small hot food or cold meats and pastry
Little bit dated slightly run down looking in bathroom could really do with a refresh fine for what you needed . For the money paid it's exactly what you expect
very clean very friendly staff , good location and value for money
Swimming pool is great, plenty sunbeds, quiet and very clean.Location is excellent.
The bar and food was OK.Breakfast had very little choice, but what was available was good.
Location fantastic.
No one stopping people leaving towels on empty Sunbeds all day. Not enough variety for breakfast.
